Operational risks are similar to unexpected events. It can derail business operations and throw you off guard. But what if you are prepared to face the risk? It would make things so much simpler!
One can say it is easier said than done. How about we understand this with an example? The Silicon Valley Bank collapsed in 2023! It is considered one of the biggest banking venture failures of the twenty-first century. Some critics blamed the Bank's risk management strategy, while some believed the internal banking operations were not well-regulated!
What caused Silicon Valley Bank to fail?Â
Silicon Valley Bank, founded in 1983, became the 16th largest bank in the US between 2019 and 2022. During this time, it witnessed tremendous growth. Its deposits were invested in treasury or other long-term bonds, giving little interest.
There are many theories about how one of the largest banks in the United States can collapse in two days. It was definitely not due to risky investments or fraud but the bank's lack of Operational Risk Assessment. A simple assessment would have helped understand the effects of receiving low returns on depositors' money.
Operational losses mainly occur due to poor processes, flawed policies, or unexpected system failures. These are operational risks. Further, operational risk assessments help anticipate these risks and prepare to manage them effectively.
